"Small team like Crystal Palace" – Sage's decision leads to Eagles criticism

Darío Osorio has barely featured for Crystal Palace since joining on loan, sparking criticism from Chilean media over manager Pierre Sage's limited use of the winger.

Darío Osorio joined Crystal Palace on loan from FC Midtjylland on deadline day but has struggled to gain regular playing time under manager Pierre Sage. The Chilean winger has made just one league appearance (one minute against Fulham), started in an EFL Cup match, and appeared briefly in Europa League action. Despite playing 829 minutes across 13 matches for Midtjylland earlier this season, Osorio was left as an unused substitute in Crystal Palace's 5-0 defeat to Brighton on Sunday. Chilean commentator Juan Manuel Pons criticised both the club and Sage for the lack of opportunities, expressing frustration with how the Eagles have handled the loan signing.
